CHEMICAL-CLOSET.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 21, 1916.

Application filed May 11, 1914. Serial No. 837,929.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS S. AINGE, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Detroit, in the countyof Wayne and State ofMichigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inChemical-Closets, of which the following is a specification, referencebeing had therein to the accompanying drawings.

The invention relates to closets, and more particularly to that typeprovided with a removable receptacle in which a disinfectant anddeodorant chemical compound is placed when the closet is in use.

It is the object of the invention to obtain a simple and inexpensiveconstruction to manufacture and one which has various features ofadvantage as hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of the closet: Fig. 2 is avertical central section therethrough; and Fig. 3 is a section throughthe vent connection, showing the seat in raised position.

Ais a suitable base, B is a post or standard rising from said base andhaving secured at its upper end a hinged seat C, D is a removable vesselwhich is adapted to be placed upon the base A when the seat is raisedand which forms a sealing joint with said seat when lowered.

To provide ventilation for the receptacle D, a vent pipe E is arrangedpreferably in alinement with the standard B, its upper end beingconnected with a chimney or other escape fine. The lower end of thistube is connected with a lateral conduit F which communicates with aport formed in the seat C and opening into the receptacle D. T 0 permitof hinging the seat, the lateral conduit F is formed in two sections, FF the former being permanently mounted upon the post B and the latterupon the seat C. These two sections are preferably provided with hingelugs G,

Copies of this patent may be obtained for five cents each, by addressingthe which are pivotally connected together as shown in Fig. 3, so thatwhen the seat is lifted the sections F F will separate, while in thelowered position these sections abut and form a continuous conduit.

\Vith the construction as described, in use the receptacle D beingremovable can be easily cleansed, and as there is no outer casing tobecome foul the whole device may be kept in a sanitary condition. Theseat when raised permits of easily removing or replacing the receptacle,and when lowered forms the sealing joint with the upper edge of saidreceptacle, While the ventilating flues F E form an air connectiontherewith. The whole construction is one which can be cheaplymanufactured and easily installed.

What I claim as my invention is,

1. In a closet, the combination with a base, of a post rising from saidbase, a vent pipe arranged in alinement with said post,

a removable receptacle seated upon said base, a seat for the upper endof said receptacle, and a hinge connection between said seat and postforming a vent passage for connecting said receptacle with said ventpipe.

2. In a closet, the combination with a base, a vent pipe, a removablereceptacle seated on said base, a seat having a stationary part fixed inrelation to said base and a movable part having a vent opening, and ahinged conduit having a stationary part fixed in relation to said baseand in open communication with said vent and a movable part secured tothe movable part of said seat and overlying and communicating with thevent opening therein.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
